BAKING FOR SURVIVAL

Immediately following the Japan earthquake and tsunami, from left, Encinitas Girl Scout Claire Hamson, joined by friends Kyle Kinnare, Maya Hamson and Molly Vonder, hosted a bake sale to gather money for the Red Cross Japan Relief Fund. With help from parent Sue Cuthbert, as well as friends from Hamson’s school, Flora Vista Elementary, the group raised more than $410. Courtesy photo
